Food was decent. Not the best option out there but was on the cheaper side. Service and kitchen was quick with preparing my order.

Food. Found a roach in my food. . This was the worst experience I've had. This happened to me in another country but I'd think they would have more quality control in a first world country. read more

Bamboo Bistro - Thai Curry Fried Rice - Asian Fusion Near Me - Austin, Texas

We've all been eating at home these past few months but now it's time to help local businesses STAY in business. BB is only open for drive through right now. *there are no prices on the menu (it says ask for prices) I'm assuming it's due to covid-19 and availability for products. I haven't been in months so I went with one of my go to orders: Thai Basil with chicken and brown rice- add a Thai spicy soup for 99 cents. You won't be disappointed. I also grabbed a pad Thai with tofu. Don't judge! I had just finished a workout. Plus I wanted leftovers. ‍ The drive thru ordering was easy. They were wearing a mask. I wish there was a way to pay without them taking my cc and then having to sign. Eek! I carry sanitizer in my car for those moments. Anyway my order wasn't ready so they told me to park and they would bring it out. I could see inside and there were two people (one was the owner) without masks. I don't know if the chefs were wearing masks as I couldn't see in the kitchen. They did bring it out but he wasn't wearing a mask or gloves. He was one of the people I could see from my car without a mask. I don't usually freak out about a mask but your handling my food?!! The food was delicious and it didn't stop me from eating it but as I am writing this...I feel strongly whether you are six feet away from my food or not you should be wearing a mask. Plenty of leftovers!!! read more

Ordered on the phone arrived 30 min later food was not ready waited 5 min for 3 plates. Fried rice was good and chicken tastes great . Would recommend again . Last time I ordered was pad Thai and it was not as good. I guess some dishes hit and others don't . read more

This place is okay. I ordered a salmon salad, chicken lo mein, chicken lo mein from kids menu, and veggie spring rolls. The noodles were the best part from this order. I believe they were udon noodles. The salmon from the salad was questionable. It had a similar consistency to mash potatoes. They didn't honor the complimentary 6 crab rangoon with order of $35 and over. That was a bummer. The person whom we picked up from said they weren't affiliated with Yelp... And then she changed her answer to that being a deal from one of the delivery services. We resquested hot sauce and utensils And got 2 forks for an order with 3 meals... I'll probably never stop by and pick up food here. But if YOU do, I recommend you order from the kids menu. The adult portion is only slightly more and the price difference is significant. read more

We ordered the pad thai & hot and sour soup. The pad thai was ok, the eggs were burned so it overpowered the taste of the noodles. The hot and sour soup was good & we would order it again. read more

I ordered online, and it displayed that the food would be ready in 15 minutes. I arrived 20 minutes later, but the food wasn't ready, and they told me it would be another 2 minutes. When I finally received my order, everything was burnt and tasted like dish soap. I'm not coming back. read more

First and last time I will be ordering from this restaurant. Mediocre food and extremely dissatisfactory service. I don't typically leave negative reviews, but this experience really irked me. Patrons beware...this place should be avoided. I placed our order on 9/14 @ 8:50ish. At around 9:50 I decided to check our door being as I hadn't heard a knock at that point and lo and behold...the food was there on our door step. We have a large dog in the same room that barks at the faintest of noises, so you can imagine what a knock will do to the pups alert system. With that said, no one knocked or informed us that our food was there. I guess they expect people to open the door and look outside every 5 minutes for the foods arrival? Maybe I should have pitched a tent on the front porch to alert the delivery driver that we were home and readily available. With this said, I decided that a call was warranted to the restaurant given that our food was luke warm, dry and dissatisfactory after what I expect was a 30+ minute wait on our porch. Surprisingly they still picked up my call at 10:05pm, which was a welcoming start to resolving the situation. The man that picked up (I suspect was the delivery driver) listened to my explanation about being dissatisfied and offered this statement as a resolution to what was now a $52 problem, "I can have the delivery driver knock or call you next time". Like...what? Seriously? In what world, especially the restaurant world, is this an acceptable solution? Isn't knocking common practice when food gets delivered? The hilarious thing about this is they tried to say "Oh, well maybe no one answered". Okay, buddy. Way to gas light your customer. Buyer beware. If you've had good experiences here, consider yourself lucky, but if you have an issue with your order and decide that your hard earned money deserves the service you paid for, DO NOT expect to receive good service or a resolution other than a "better luck next time" response. To the owners: (I hope that I didn't speak to an owner) get your act together. read more

We ordered via UberEats tonight and really enjoyed the food. We ordered the sweet and sour chicken, combo lo mein, and jalapeño crab wontons. All the food was delicious and hot, the wontons were crispy and delicious. That lo mein is up there with the best I've tried and it had tons of meat in there. 10/10 would recommend. read more

Delivery through Postmates. Snovid21. Got it. Boil water notice. Got it. But. So. Sloooow...Bistro, not the driver. Got the pad Thai and general tso chicken. Mediocre. The spicy Thai soup was spot on though, and spicy! Okay in a pinch, but there are better. read more

I ordered here for the first time 7/7/21 through uber eats and ordered Kung Pao Chicken and the bacon and green beans. It came with very little rice that was soaked with sauce. The chicken had a weird taste and just ate all of the vegetables and left the meat. I wrote in the notes section that I have a peanut allergy (this can be seen in the receipt that was attached to the bag) and was shocked when I noticed a peanut in my green beans dish. read more

Bamboo Bistro - Singapore noodles - Asian Fusion Near Me - Austin, Texas

I REALLY HATE to be negative but I believe it is required this time. Ordered, for pick up, our usual & customary- 2 entrees, egg rolls, Rangoon. None were discribed as being heavy with garlic. I really like garlic! But everything was super heavy in garlic. I couldn't eat but 2 bite of the egg roll & only the crispy corners of the Rangoon. My taste buds were messed up so entree was boxed back up & hope to eat tomorrow. Guess my biggest concern is that we had ordered several times before & enjoyed it. It will be a long time before I go there again. I'll be looking for another restaurant to try. $45 too much to waste on a meal, IMO! read more

If the wretched pile of gray, borderline rancid, wannabe stir fry I brought home from their drive-through is what Bamboo Bistro calls food, then my birdfinger's a compliment. The "Mongolian Beef" I received tasted and looked like stagnant, microwave-boiled slop- a foul, outdoor couch of a dish that was even inedible to my dog, whose nightly prednisone treatments usually make her insatiably hungry for anything she can yeet her face into. It was the worst thing I've ever eaten, full stop. And don't be fooled by their recent cutesy rebrand as "Mei Mei's Kitchen" on the delivery apps. I mean, unless you love the taste of nightmares. Pfft. Mei Mei's Kitchen. It's like if your uncle who doesn't shower decides he now wants to be called "Clint," and wears a hat, as if that's going to make people around him stop dry heaving. read more

Not impressed. I live in the neighborhood and went for a quick lunch, first of all the drive-through menu is a mess, they do not have prices listed or have a simply listed menu. I ordered General Tso's chicken and the chicken was a little burnt, the sauce was just okay. I was disappointed with the rice first because I ordered fried rice and got white, second the white rice had no salt and was not good. I recommend driving to Panda, at least you know what you're going to get. After finishing my meal I lowered this to 2 stars, The end of my sauce tasted like pure sugar read more

Good fusion Asian. We had salmon, Thai basil chicken and pad Thai plus appetizers. Good range of flavors and there was something that appealed to everyone's tastes. read more

A remodeled KFC wouldn't be my choice if I was gonna venture into the restaurant business. Huge props as I don't know what kind of paint and cleaners they used; but no smell of old fried chicken, gravy, or double down debauchery. Also, I was ultimately confused thinking this was a reopened Blue Bamboo that used to be in the Circle C area. Whatever Bamboo this was turned out to be good starting with simple ordering process at the counter. Flat panel TV's on the wall behind presenting a slide show of their culinary excellence. At least it was better than Rice Chinese that used to occupy the same strip center with their salvaged food court hanging number with generic asian photos pulled off the internet and blown up at the nearest kinkos. I could still make the case for missing Rice's Honey Chicken. For the appetizer round we sampled the egg drop soup, crab jalapeno wontons, and the tofu spring rolls. The wontons were probably the best bites of the group even though they spent a minute too long in the fryer. The spring rolls had a nice consistency but suffered overall from separated peanut sauce. The egg drop soup was a miss. The entree round I'll start off with my General Tso's chicken. My thoughts immediately went back to my old favorite haunt on East Oltorf (now closed Wanfu) thinking of the crispy goodness that still dominated even after the thick probably MSG added sauce was applied. Bamboo's offering unfortunately missed that mark with a soggy batter; but enticed with the sauces thick consistency. The spice level progressed with each bite only missing a hint of sweet to balance it out. Mrs. Rooster ordered the Tom Kha with veggies instead of a protein. Little Rooster had his usual chicken fried rice and cleaned his plate. The wife only complaining she could have had a real flavor explosion for the same price if we visited a nearby Mams. We did notice the drive-thru business was consistent so maybe we missed a dish that would bring us back again. Otherwise, its back to the search for General Tso's perfection. read more

Great food. Lots of flavor at good price. The staff js very friendly as well. Hidden asian restaurant in South Austin making this place a gem. read more

I ordered fried rice with chicken and shrimp, and lo main with beef and shrimp. Both plates were half empty when I got them! I paid 50 dollars for my food and I expect for the containers to be filled! This is ridiculous! read more

Simply love this place. Great gluten-free options. Fresh veggies in their food. Awesome

Bought some shrimp tempura and decided to eat in the car. I looked down and saw a beetle next to my shrimp. I almost died and became sick instantly. I took the order back inside and showed the little Asian Manager. He had the audacity to deny that the beetle came from his restaurant after I picked up the food 5 min prior. BUYER BEWARE if you want to avoid getting sick and an angry, rude manager. Seek food elsewhere! read more

I hate giving bad reviews, I used to love this place years ago. I moved back to the area and thought I'd give them another try. I ordered to-go via the drive through. I'll never be back and DO NOT recommend this place to anyone. There was a whole COCKROACH in my food. I didn't find it until I was halfway done with the food. So gross!!! read more

I Just moved to the area and was hoping to find some authentic Chinese food that delivers, but this was no where close. I ordered chicken fried rice, it was basically soy sauce soaked rice with chicken, no carrot, onion or egg? The Mongolian beef which is generally sliced beef, green onion and onion in a sweet brown sauce and I've never had it include carrots and broccoli. Seemed no different than beef and broccoli. The egg rolls were something I could buy and fry in the frozen section from H‑E‑B. Sorry for $60 and delivery, The food was sub par and I could have done better at Panda Express and saved some money! read more

Their food is fresh and the service is great. It can get a little pricey but for how consistently good their food is, it's worth it.

I got really sick after, I ordered a Lomein noodle order and it looked like it was microwaved.

This place deserves zero stars. Owner is a complete ass that berates his employees in front of everyone in the dining room when they're obviously just trying to do their jobs. They used pre-packaged food and reheat it. He yelled at a customer because they asked for no onions in the fried rice. "Fried rice is pre packaged! I can't remove onions!" Seriously? Screw this place. If I want pre-packaged Chinese food I'll buy bags of PF Chang's at Target. It'll taste better anyway. Avoid at all costs. read more

Do not recommend. Took and hour to deliver and the food was inedible. Couldn't even recognize what it was supposed to be. "Beef" and broccoli came with a single piece of broccoli and the extra surcharge for added shrimp was definitely not worth it because the shrimp was unrecognizable as food and gross. Wouldn't even feed it to my dog. read more

Bamboo Bistro - Asian Fusion Near Me - Austin, Texas

I had spicy general Tso chicken and loved mein noodles. It was good and a good portion. The food came in one big bowl so convenient to take to work with me. The egg rolls were okay but, I am not happy with anyone's egg rolls- I give up looking and hoping for big fat egg rolls from the 1980s. The chicken is REAL chicken! No shady mystery meat here. So thankful for that! I didn't take photos sorry but it was good. I also have had their king pao chicken snd vegetable spring rolls which are served with Thai peanut dipping sauce yummy read more

I've ordered from this place 4 or 5 times because I've been with people who liked it I guess. I want to be as clear and unequivocal as I can be after multiple experiences. This. Place. SUCKS. All of their meat selections were wierd and pastry like - which shouldn't be the case for a fried chicken skin. If you order a normal menu item there is NEVER enough sauce to even tell what your ordered so you just end up eating dry chicken or beef or pork and rice is also involved, as well as some lazily steamed veggies. What kills me is that if you ask for extra sauce they literally turn it into a soup. I've never had a restaurant experience where I thought they were literally saying f you but when I got my General TSO soup I literally felt insulted. And then I felt sick because I tried to eat part of it. I promise I'm verbose not vindictive. This restaurant has disappointed me on literally every occasion and got me sick on the last one. Don't go here. Don't order food from here. Just don't do it. This place is actually bad for humans. I told myself I would never order from this place again years ago because all of it is just bad. Then I got tricked because I hadn't ordered it in so long that I forgot the name and I was LITERALLY sick from the food and had to throw up at work. I literally vomited. The food is bad. The establishment is just.... Bad. read more

They don't know how to do Pad Tai. But fried stuff is good so far. It's extra crunchy although it was soggy last time.

I've been here about 10x now, generally eat in the cafe or walk it over to Starbucks. Recommend the curry (not the very hot one). Pros: * Consistent food, reasonable price * Good service Cons: * Generally on the too sweet, too spicy, too much sauce end. Fairly basic Asian food. * Loads of TVs kind of take away from the ambience. read more

I'm a North Austin boy but I found myself south of the river today around lunchtime and was in the mood for Chinese. I found Bamboo Bistro, and am I glad I did! It's not much to look at on the inside, but the folks working there were kind and attentive. The egg drop soup was flavorful. My order of General Tso's arrived quickly. The portion was generous and came with rice and freshly-steamed broccoli. Spicy and full of flavor, I had to keep myself from downing the whole thing! I wish there were one of these in Cedar Park! Next time I'm down south I'm going to Bamboo Bistro again! read more

The food is great, but today I went to pick up my order nobody was wearing masks no the cooks or the lady in the front, she doesn't knowledge the clients she keep packing things with her back towards us at least greet your costumers with hi illl be there in a minute read more

Y'all. This is everything I want on a Netflix & chill night. Gimme all the Bamboo Bistro - their General Tso, Curry, Tom Kah, Spring Rolls... all so good. Great staff - we've eaten here dozens of times and never had a wrong order. This place doesn't look like mugh from the outside, but is the shizzz... Bamboo is forever my takeout Boo. #noregrets read more

I door dashed the general Tso, meat was so over cooked that it was crispy through and through. There was 2 pieces of broccoli that looked like they came out of a steam bag that you throw in the microwave. Not impressed and wasted my money read more

The food is decent but way overpriced. Staff is extremely unprofessional. I went to the men's bathroom and not 2 minutes later a lady I saw working behind the counter walks in on me in the restroom , muttering something about the door lock being broken. Not even apologizing or anything! Ambience isn't any better.. smelled like chemicals when I went in, with the doors closed. Place is dark n musty. They obviously don't care if the people who use the bathroom have awkward walk ins... All in all, a mess of a place I would avoid at all costs! read more

I moved back North, and I'm having withdrawal symptoms! My favorite is General Tso's with shrimp. Everything is so good - I'll be back to visit soon! read more

I ordered from here today and the food was just ok. I got the spicy ramen with tofu and the vegetable egg rolls. The food was delivered to me super quick however, the noodles were pretty over cooked and the tofu tasted a little old. The flavor of the noodles were good and spicy. The vegetable egg rolls were just meh. The outside was crispy but the filing was VERY mushy. I might order from there again but would probably try something different. read more

Very unhappy with the quality and portion I received today. For a $10 plate, I would hope to receive a decent portion. Or at the very least fill the container. I've never received such a low portion of rice in my life. I have been here in the past, and received a bigger portion, not too long ago. I did eat one piece of broccoli and a piece of chicken before taking the picture, but even adding that, this is awful. Also, the food tasted like it was just sitting around. The food used to be super fresh and the chicken and broccoli was cooked better. Also, they ignored my requests for napkins just to top it off. This is honestly unacceptable for a place that was really good. read more
